    Ha, Haaaaaaaa! You called Spookie a brat! That is so funny! And yes Lilgoats! I thought the same thing, but didn't want to say it! You should see me trying to put on compression stockings! I first put them on a "Donner" and then I can slip my foot into one, and pull them up! Best thing EVER invented.

    And yes little brat! I CAN work all the stuff in my car! Even the heater adjustments... which your car probably didn't even come EQUIPPED with one... So HAH! It really is a nice car...! So I guess that's all DH is going to give me for Christmas... But I got him a pair of $14 dollar shoes that he wanted... AND some Starbucks Christmas Coffee... and several other things... and I made him a pretty card for his B-day!

    Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!  We're headed to MIL's house where the family will gather. I've been baking and have a lovely assortment of cookies: rum balls, spritz, mini cherry cheesecake tarts, rugelach, and good old chocolate chip.  Roast beef dinner tonight and ham tomorrow.  Will be great to get together and have a glass of wine (or two) and not worry about driving anywhere.  ♥ to all

    Done with my tasks for the day. Now to enjoy the rest of the day until hubby gets home. Supposed to get out at 2, wish they would let them go earlier as there is nothing really pressing going on today where he works!

    Badger - I'm coming with you. All sound yummy.

    I've changed one set of sheets, another to go. Given the dog a bath. Dried another load of clothes. Must wrap DD's gift. Have hamburger thawing for enchiladas - what DH voted to have tonight. I have frozen croissants to make a croissant french toast casserole for in the morning. My little road has been busy, busy this am. People must be going last minute shopping or on their way to grandma's house. DD should arrive between 4-5 and DH gets off no later than 6, maybe 5 if he's lucky. The joys of retail for him.

    I hope those of you in FL are not going to get what MS got. Pictures are devastating.

    I'll probably lurk on here a bit in/out. Wishing everyone of my best buddies who reside here a very Merry Christmas or a late Happy Hanukkah or even a Joyous Winter Solstice. Hoping for no pain for anyone and only the most wonderful of holiday celebrations.

    Merry Christmas!!

    Enchiladas sound yummy! We're doing finger foods tonight and watching movies. I wanted to go to church, but the latest service is at 6pm and I don't get off work until 530pm. :(

    Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! I wish everyone peace and hope ((hugs))

    Sorry, ladies, I didn't neglect you intentionally, couldn't get the page to load today! But I will reward your patience with the story, since you already know the meaning.

    When DH was growing up in Indiana with his big family, his dad's big Polish family in Chicago, and his mom's big Tennessee family in northern Indiana, they would spend Christmas Eve with Dad's family, and Christmas Day with Mom's family. So, the day before Christmas Eve they would have their own family Christmas. They called it Christmas Adam because Adam came before Eve.

    His dad was a manager at Woolworth, so to keep the kids from going crazy Christmas week, if they were good, they would get a small toy in their window in the morning. DH and I carry on that tradition still. He's really hard to buy for though, since if he wants something, he buys it. But I got some fun window toys this year. Mickey Mouse Christmas striped slipper-socks, a pashmina scarf, chocolate, a flashlight, Apple earbuds, a lined watch cap. I always try to get him some kind of remote controlled toy, he likes those. I kind of fell down on the job this year due to not shopping at all, but I managed a couple things and cousin filled in the gaps. We actually hang a sign in our chosen window with our names so that the elves don't get confused.

    We went to church, early service, then picked up McDonald's for dinner on the way home. Cousin is singing at 6 & 8, so they're feeding the choir at church. It was very festive. Saw friends I hadn't seen in a while.

    Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Adam and Eve, and have a wonderful Christmas Day.
